Purple Trees and Golden Hills

written by: Gayl Wright

@GaylWright

Purple trees clamor amid high clouds
Golden hills run wildly in a row
A giant I am and slow

Head full of stories so loud
Tumbling like a hamster wheel
Round and round and real

Imagination reigns
Happy as a jumping frog
Not a plain old cog

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
